Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

Ended 2-0, it was a great game as well. Both teams had high numbers of shots on target, and I'm really surprised that I kept a clean sheet. There was one play where Raul was played clean through on goal with only the goalkeeper to beat, and he blasted it right at him.

I've just noticed that I have a very good looking striker called Igor out on loan at Levante and may get him back in a month or so!

Might be too late to register him though.

edit: I can't have non-EU players, but he has only Brazilian nationality. He qualifies for Spain in a few weeks though, so fingers crossed he gets Spanish citizenship soon. Weirdly, his history shows him having played 3 seasons for us previously, with a great return.

We're in the playoffs.

iirc there's no auto promotion, but the top 4 enter a playoff. We're well ahead (thanks to a record 12 wins in a row!) and are thus guaranteed a playoff place with about 10 games to spare. 16 points clear at the top with 7 to go.

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

Uh oh. I registered barely any natural DCs and now, predictably, both my main are injured. Luckily I think they're out for the frankly meaningless end of season games (which I may holiday) but back for the playoffs.

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

I don't mean to be rude, but do we need a post for every result?

I mean, I'm all up for a bit of informal discussion about our games but there's not really a lot we can say in reply to a one off meaningless result. Would it be possible to restrict it to matches/events that might be of a little bit more interest to people?

I was thinking earlier I was drifting more towards that so I've already taken it upon myself to only post what's (hopefully) interesting.

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

Played 6 games in the league and won them all as Arsenal manager in my first season. Not really been hard games have been all against the lower half of the table apart from spurs. Struggled to win away at Doncaster in the league Cup only won 1-0! Only signed one player on loan Sanchez from Udinese who has done alright hes only a youngster but i want to sign him permanently if the price is right. Got 25 mill to spend dont fancy spending any of it at the moment.

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

Just got back from my game. Scored one, assisted 1, but also missed a PK, so I really didn't play that well

Summary of me with Barca so far:

Xavi has by far been my best player. He's got an average of something like 8.05 and assisted 15 goals. Ronaldo won all the awards that year, but Xavi came in second for a bunch.

Messi has been decent for me, which isn't good. I want him to be magical and score tons of goals. Playing him as the advanced playmaker with 'roam from position checked' on the right wing. He's swapping with Pedro and Ibra/Bojan. Anyone got anything else better?

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

Results like these are cruel...

But especially when your team decides to waste a chance like this by running pointlessly down the flank and trying to score from a ridiculously tight angle and hitting the post two minutes earlier... And worstly this result could cost me the title if I don't win the next game and Chelsea do...

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

11 games now played top of the league by 3 points. Got a game in hand over 2nd so i can hopefully go more points clear. Sanchez has been amazing on the wings him and arshavin or walcott terrorising defensse. Diaby is doing well , fabregas is amazing along with Van Persie am enjoying it so far can hopefully win the league and maybe the league cup as well, am away to Leeds in the quarter finals.

Re: Career Updates Forum Anecdote Thread - featuring all-nighters

Ugh, some player from Athletic scored a late equalizer that was clearly offside. I complained about it in the later press conference, and I was right! Incompetent fools. Now Real Madrid is going to be able to grab a foothold in the title race.
